B.
Vinegar boils when it comes in contact with baking soda.
C.
Baking soda and vinegar make a uniform mixture.

Answer 2

Answer:The correct answer is option A.

Explanation;

In a model of volcanic eruption, baking soda and vinegar is used to demonstrate the eruption of lava from the volcano.The bubbles generated when they are mixed together is due to chemical reaction in between the acetic acid and baking soda which leads to formation of new substance(s).

`CH_3COOH(aq)+NaHCO_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO2(g)`

The gas released is carbon-dioxide gas.
